Part of Black Tower 40th And Proud series (sounds like a Channel 4 TV programme about gay rights -so I'll ad (c) to that "in case) here is a piece from another early contributor to Black Tower zines -by Gary Stainsby.
I think -think- this strip is from 1987. Another artist I know nothing about. Seriously, you got a letter asking if you were looking for strips for your zine and you never found out anything about the creator.
Like Adrian Wood, the mysterious artist known as Gary Stainsby had a nice style. And he was developing art-wise but just vanished one day. Nothing more ever heard from him and, yes, I have searched over the years. Hmm. I can see how the rumour that I dispose of people came out....
Anyway, this was one of the first strips Gary sent me and I still like it all these years later (and I managed to clean up the faded/dirty decades old zine pages) and I do hope that he at least continued drawing!
